port published in the st. Paul evening
paper of the 1St inst, stating that Mr..
Weyerhauser had not completed nego-
tiations with Knapp, Stout & Co. for
their entire property, is regarded as a
mere blind by well-knOwn lumbermen
in this vicinity. There was difference

price on Friday, which, it is stated, has
been settled, and the whole transaction
will be made public this week.
Attacking a Salvation Man.
Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Oct. 3.-Maj. Fishblatt, of
the Gospel army, says he was attacked
by three men Saturday night while
going from the Gospel army headquar-
tiers to his hotel. He darted in to Jacob

adventure there. The police claim
there was no disturbance on the street
whatever Saturday night, and the route
which Mai. Fishblatt took home was
very well covered by policemen.

A Night in Constantinople.

The first thing that strikes one about Con-
stantinople is the quantity Of windows. The
houses seem nothing but window frames.
Where we should think room well lighted
with two or three windows, there will be six
in a row and no space IN the wall between.
The second popularity, one for which the
traveller is prepared, is the multitude of dogs.
As one walks through Galata, the seaport of
the European division of the city, the dogs
are lying in the streets by the dozens. They
are OF a wolfish breed, and nocturnal in their
habits. In the day time they lie and doze,
never taking any notice Of pedestrians, who
are obliged to walk around them as best they
may. At night they are said to wake up and
be SO savage as to render it dangerous to pass
them. They have fierce fights with each
other also, and hardly night passes that one
does not hear violent bowling and barking
from the quarters where they mostly congTe-
gate.
Ones slumbers are SO often disturbed by
alarms of fire. The old part of Constanti-
nople is built entirely of wood, and fires are
more frequent here than in any other known
place. The Europeans consider the Turks as
tremendous thieves and capable of all iniq-
uity, and suppose the Turkish police is in
sufficient or inefficient to protect the Euro
pean quarter by night, for in Pera the owners
of every two or three houses club together
and hire watchman, who all night long
walks up and down a very limited beat,
pounding with his stick upon the pavement
probably in order that if there should be a
burglar in the neighborhood he may be
warned Of his adverSary's approach and have
time to escape. 1t Is almost impossible to ac-
custom ones self to this continuous thump,
thump upon the stones. Light sleepers have
hard time of it in Constantinople.
